I have been to the GS and TSB youtube search engines. I have typed in as many key words and variations as I could think. Im not trying to ask stupid questions here in the forum. I know alot of the same questions get asked. But you have to understand this. 1: Search engine isnt perfect. 2: in the search engine..... When you type in keywords about your question or problem. You will recieve 30 hits. Half of them are posts, where people asked the same question and never got a answer. Or the question answered only covers 20% of your specific question. And TSB has TONS of helpful vids. I thank him for them all. And when I cant get any help with GS forum search engine. I go to his vids or GS temps. If I cant find anything at those 3 places. I come ask the question here. All Im trying to say is. sometimes research dont work. I have even learned to save topics in my favs. that has been a help. Not complaining here. just trying explain that sometimes research comes up short. especially with GS forums search engine.

    Yep the forum search is considerably worse than totally useless. I just use google, type your search followed by site: gamesalad.com , I even have it setup in TextExpander :)

    Yeah, the forum is very, very basic. what's the software????

    I use vBulletin on the two forums I run and consider it the BEST of any forum software.. It's not that expensive and very easy to use.
    I think if any business wants a serious or professional looking forum, vBulletin is a must.
